Rugby Half Marathon 2026

The Rugby Half Marathon begins on Hart Field at 09:00, taking participants on a 13.1-mile, road-closed course through Rugby. This October event features town-centre streets, country roads, and mild undulations, suitable for runners seeking a consistent pace rather than a flat-out sprint. The route incorporates parts of the former Great Central Railway, now a linear nature reserve and wildlife area, before heading back to town for the finish. Participants receive chip timing, kilometre markers, complimentary race photos, a themed medal, and post-race refreshments. An event village offers food and drink, with optional event T-shirts available for purchase during registration.
